The role of vocational education and training in shaping the future of Europe

European Parliament – Cedefop lunch event hosted by MEP Anne Sander

A debate jointly organised by Cedefop (European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training) and Ms Anne Sander (MEP) on the issue of the future of vocational education and training (VET) in Europe.

The event will provide an opportunity for Cedefop to inform the Members on the latest work of Cedefop on the rapidly changing nature and role of VET in Europe. Building on research covering a total of 30 countries, a set of ‘Scenarios 2035’ will be presented, illustrating the choices faced by policy makers and stakeholders in the years ahead. The seminar provides an opportunity to reflect on the role played by VET in the overall education and training system as well as in relation to the labour market and society at large.

The event will be also an opportunity to celebrate Cedefop’s new Founding Regulation, to which Ms Anne Sander had an important contribution in her position of Rapporteur for the file, on behalf of the Employment and Social Committee (EMPL).
